LGBT+ History Month is an annual observance that takes place in February in the United Kingdom. It is a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) people, as well as to raise awareness of the ongoing struggles and discrimination that they face.
Welcome to Inclusion Bites Watch! In this episode, we reflect on LGBTQ+ individuals serving in the Armed Forces with our guest speaker. Joanne Lockwood served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) at a time when the military wasn't a welcoming and accepting environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Today, she shares her experiences and thoughts on the ongoing fight for justice and recognition of past wrongs.
In this episode of Inclusion Bites Watch, host Joanne Lockwood explores the power and pitfalls of the word "queer" as a label for diverse sexual and gender identities. While the term had been used as a derogatory slur against the queer community, it has since been reclaimed and transformed as a symbol of pride, resilience, and self-identification.
This advanced level workshop aims to prepare organisations to support Employees Transitioning in the workplace.
In this video, we unpack the economic cost of suppressing queer and trans identities in the workplace, highlighting the impacts on both individuals and businesses. Drawing from expert insights by Joanne Lockwood, we expose the stifling effects of closeting on job satisfaction, innovation, and turnover rates. But there's a silver lining: the transformative power of inclusion and allyship, means everyone deserves to be their authentic selves at work.
